Antibiotics: A Friend And A Foe

It's that time of my life again, when I have to take antibiotics.
The last multi drug cocktail i  had was when I was still starting medications when i got diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy about 5 years ago, which was not a pleasant experience at all.
I thought I was going crazy, sitting upright takes too much effort and the nausea.. uh, that dizzying feeling that I can't understand whether to throw up or hold it down.
Sleep was my refuge, it's the only thing to do really.

Fast forward to today, I again am ordered to take this 3 combo antibiotics to fight off some nasty bacteria somewhere. And the old feeling is back again. The only good thing about this time is I am aware of its sick side effects. Now I couldn't stay on the computer for long. Maybe this time just enough to finish this blog. I even asked for offdays from my employers since i couldn't stay up for too long.

And the insatiable hunger and thirst! This is the harder part. Long ago I have learned the art of eating less but feeling full all the time. But now with these meds, it's different. I am always sleepy and hungry and when I've eaten just enough to coat my stomach with food so it wont be damaged by the harsh antibiotics, I get nauseated right after. Which makes me want to sleep again, to control it. All these would have been okay if I won't have to get up to cook my own food, which is a total bummer during my sick days.

The story of my life.

I really want to get that transplant soon!

This gets tiring.
